| Sample Response: Linear relationships can becompared using their initial values, or y-intercepts, andtheir rates of change, or slopes. Initial values can tellyou which relationship started with a greater value.Comparing slopes can tell you which relationship isrising or falling faster.Which of the following did you include in yourresponse? Check all that apply.initial value (y-intercept) of each functionrate of change (slope) of each functioninitial value to compare starting pointsslope to compare rise or fall

Two accounting professors decided to compare the variance of their grading procedures. To accomplish this, they each graded the same 10 exams, with the following results: Mean Grade Standard Deviation Professor 1 79.3 22.4 Professor 2 82.1 12.0 At the 10% level of significance, what is the decision regarding the null hypothesis? A) Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the variances are different. B) Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude no significant difference in the variances. C) Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the variances are the same. D) Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the variances are the same.

A soccer ball manufacturer wants to estimate the mean circumference of soccer balls within 0.05 in. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.20 in. (b) Repeat part (a) using a standard deviation of 0.40 in. Which standard deviation requires a larger sample size? Explain. (a) The minimum sample size required to construct a 99% confidence interval using a population standard deviation of 0.20 in. is balls. (Round up to the nearest integer.) (b) The minimum sample size required to construct a 99% confidence interval using a standard deviation of 0.40 in. is balls. (Round up to the nearest integer.) A population standard deviation of in. requires a larger sample size. Due to the increased variability in the population, a sample size is needed to ensure the desired accuracy.

A survey of 61 comma 646 people included several questions about office relationships. Of the​ respondents, 26.5​% reported that bosses scream at employees. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than 1 divided by 4 of people say that bosses scream at employees. How is the conclusion affected after learning that the survey is an online survey in which Internet users chose whether to​ respond? Identify the null​ hypothesis, alternative​ hypothesis, test​ statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null​ hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the​ P-value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation of the binomial distribution.

What is the p-value? -- Researcher Jessie is studying how the fear of going to the dentist affects an adult's actual number of visits to the dentist. She asks a random sample of adults whether or not they fear going to the dentist and also how many times they have gone in the past 10 years. She would like to assess if the average number of visits made by adults who fear going to the dentist (Group 1) is higher than the average number of visits for those who don't have that fear (Group 2), that is, test H0: μ1 = μ2 versus Ha: μ1 > μ2, using a 10% significance level. Her random sample of adults resulted in 14 stating they feared going to the dentist and 31 stated they did not fear going to the dentist. The first sample mean was 1.71 pooled standard errors above the second sample mean. Jessie has asked you to provide a complete sketch of the p-value that she can include in her report. You can use the shiny app in R which will give the exact p-value or make a complete sketch by hand and provide the bounds for the p-value using the T table.2) Jessie also remembers some condition about a normal model required for her two populations of responses. She asks you to check this condition for her. You recall that a QQ plot helps to assess if a population of responses can be considered normally distributed. How many QQ plots do you need to make in this case?None, since the total sample size of 45 adults is large you can just use the CLT.One, for the 45 responses (number of visits) reported by the 45 adults that were surveyed.Two, one for the 14 responses (number of visits) by the adults who fear going to the dentist and one for the 31 responses (number of visits) by the adults who do not fear going to the dentist.

A staff member at UF's Wellness Center is interested in seeing if a new stress reduction program will lower employees high blood pressure levels. Twenty people are selected and have their blood pressure measured. Each person then participates in the stress reduction program. One month after the stress reduction program, the blood pressure levels of the employees were measured again. Did the program reduce the average blood pressure level? The 95% confidence interval was (5.6, 10.2). What can we expect will be the p-value for a two sided test using this data?
